According to Florian Philippot, head of the French Euroskeptic group The Patriots, France should follow Poland's example and stop sending weapons to Ukraine since the country is not interested in finding a peaceful solution to end the war.

The Prime Minister of Poland announced yesterday that his country will cease sending weaponry to Ukraine in order to prioritize its own defense. This decision comes shortly after Warsaw called in Ukraine's ambassador, following a dispute over grain exports.

Ukraine took legal action against three of its European Union neighbors, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary, by filing lawsuits at the World Trade Organization (WTO) over their bans on Ukrainian grain imports.

Later in the day, Polish government spokesperson Piotr Muller stated that Warsaw was merely supplying weaponry in accordance with previously agreed-upon terms.

Philippot expressed on X: "This is a huge turning point, given that until now Poland was Kiev's first ally. The country now wants to invest in its own army. France must follow this example and stop supplying weapons and billions to the corrupt regime that will never seek peace."

At the time, the former president of the French right-wing National Rally party and the current chairwoman of its parliamentary faction, Marine Le Pen, told Le Figaro that it was "irresponsible" of Macron to pledge long-range missiles to Ukraine.

"I do not understand why Emmanuel Macron is not integrally focused on organizing a conference for peace to put an end to this war," Le Pen was quoted as saying by the daily.

France has provided Ukraine with ample military aid ranging from equipment to fuel, ammo, and biological and chemical protection.
